lying mean thinking
In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.
hate thinking people
I think if we keep on doing good music and people like us and they buy the magazine because we are in the magazine then they cant basically hate us hopefully.
art thinking make-you-think
It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more
stupid thinking emotional
So basically, I think music at its best can be everything. It can be totally stupid and very intellectual and emotional at the same time. I don't think all those things shut each other out.
black-and-white thinking shade
I think love keeps on changing every day. It’s not black and white and it’s definitely more than 50 shades of grey.
believe thinking artist
Many other artists who sing about hope think that it is something every single person carries within himself. I'm not so sure if that's true. For me, hope is the little light guiding you the way, which reminds you that life does have a sense, that you have goals. To believe in that is often more easily said than done.
casual dated girls knowing
I've never had casual sex, I have always dated the girls I've done pyshical things with. I like knowing the person and them knowing me.
metal pretend ultimately wants
Everyone wants to pretend their cock is big and metal is the medium, but ultimately it's about the songs.
hate talking women
I hate talking about my own songs. They're all about women anyway...
films good hanging models playboy recording rock shooting talking
They'd double-booked the whole place, so at the same time, Playboy was shooting films there. So we're in this nunnery where Playboy models were hanging around, and we were talking about porn and recording a rock record pretty good combination, you know?
companies loads lovely record situation wonderful
We're in a wonderful situation that there are loads of American record companies that like what we do. And that's a lovely thing.
love pop
I love the Ronettes, the 'do-run-run-run' pop stuff. I love the lyrics, having 'blue, blue blue' being repetitive.
trying
Play as well as you can; that's it, as opposed to creating these odd paranoias, trying to be something you're not.
hurting
Hurting linde is like hurting bambi, you just can't do it.
